Statement: Be humble even after being victorious.

Assumptions:

  1. Many people are humble after being victorious.

Only assumption I is implicit
Only assumption II is implicit
Either I or II is implicit
Neither I nor II is implicit
Both I and II are implicit
Answer: Option

Yes, neither is implicit is the correct answer.
Yuvraj said:   8 years ago
Neither is correct because the statement asks a man to be humble even after being victorious. This implies that people are usually not humble after the victory.

(l) is just opposite of it. (ll) is not implicit because it generalises the statement.

Answer should be neither. I agree @Yuvraj.

Nothing is mentioned abt, the general aspect of the people. How option two? the statement states being humble AFTER victory.

'Generally people are not humble' is not the same as 'people are not humble when victorious', so it must not be implicit.

Am I correct?
